Rajon killing: 3 fugitives’ wealth confiscated
Law enforcers confiscated the movable properties of Kamrul Islam and two other fugitive accused in the 13-year-old Samiul Islam Rajon murder case.
A police team conducted the drive this afternoon, a day after a Sylhet court ordered the authorities to confiscate all the movable properties of the accused, said Md Akther Hossain, officer-in-charge of Jalalabad Police Station, who led the drive.
The two other fugitive accused are Shamim and Pavel.
Law enforcers seized the movable properties including furniture from the houses of Kamrul and Shamim at Sheikhpara area in the city, reports our Moulvibazar correspondent.
Judge Shahedul Karim of Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Sylhet came up with the order yesterday after accepting the charge sheet pressed against 13 accused including the trio.
On July 8, Rajon was beaten to death by Kamrul and several other brutes in Kumargaon Bus Stand area of Sylhet Sadar upazila.
The prime accused Kamrul fled to Saudi Arabia soon after the incident. He was later detained by Saudi police. Despite Bangladesh government's diplomatic efforts to bring him back, the Saudi authorities are yet to clarify when they will repatriate him.
Rajon's "crime", they claimed, was trying to steal a rickshaw van. Even one of culprits filmed the murder incident on a mobile phone and shared it on the social media.
The sickening torture video shook the nation to its core and stirred outcries in the social network and the mainstream media.
Tied to a pole, the boy screamed for help, cried for water and begged for his life. But the group showed no mercy. They laughed, joked and filmed their madness to show it off to people.
The boy died of brain haemorrhage. His body bore 64 injury marks.
After the killing, the culprits were taking his body on a microbus to dump it in a secluded place, but the locals spotted them and managed to catch one of them. The police recovered the body from the microbus.
A murder case was filed with Jalalabad Police Station on July 8.
